PCT No. PCT/FR83/00200 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 6, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 6, 1984 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/01368 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 12, 1984.The method of the invention concerns continuous graphitization of long pre-cooked carbon-containing products. It comprises displacing the carbon-containing products in a column, along a horizontal axis of passage, inside a furnace where the packing is a fragmented carbon-containing material which is not displaced within the furnace. The column is put under stress by rams and is heated by the Joule effect. The method can be applied particularly to the production of graphite electrodes for arc furnaces in steel works.
